It's a 73 duster 225 3.7l. Also I did a compression test today on the first cylinder and it wasn't pushing any compression. Took of the valve cover and the first 2 rocker arms are loose, they move side to side but the rest don't. Is their a way I can adjust them so they are not as loose? I can...

I'm thinking I might need a valve adjustment?

I believe it is the first piston not firing, but the spark plugs and wires where changed.

Sounds like a piston is not firing

Haha my fault your right Pistons do not misfire, it's also a slant six 225 3.7l, sorry it was late last night and I was running on no sleep!

My engine sounds like a piston is misfiring. It sputters and sounds like a knock when I am in drive. But when it's in neutral/park it runs just fine, no sputtering or nothing. I changed the spark plug wires and the spark plugs, I didn't change the distributor but I figured that wasn't the...

I'm right near the woman's prison and the cow farms n chino, I have a 1973 Plymouth duster, I have had it for almost 6 years now, I have a 225 3.7l inline 6 automatic. It's blue, and I just got the interior redone. I plan on putting a 360 in it, possibly rebuilding it myself and keeping the...

Yeah it is a slant 6 225, I am also experiencing a exhaust leak could it be coming from their?

This is my intake and is their supposed to be something where the whole is?

I just want a engine with more horsepower but I am not going to be drag racing or nothing like that. Just to cruise around. Yeah I will have time to invest!

I can replace parts pretty easy, I've done most the work on my duster, I even took auto in high school, but the thing I know I would have trouble with is all the ratios and all that stuff I would have to do

Well I am saying my budget is 4000 to 5000 dollars for a engine. I am thinking about just building it myself, you guys are convincing me. I am going to keep my torque automatic transmission, the rear end is a 7 1/4 so ima have to upgrade that as well.

Also is their better places to buy reliable engines then?

Alright so if I built my own, I mean I have never done it that's why. I guarantee I could figure it out, but if I buy one it has a warranty, that's my dellima.

Here's the other engine

Witch one should I roll with? Wondering why the price difference as well?

I will send pictures asap

I redid the trunk seal, I have a cracked right head light, missing speedo cable, and the hood does not sit right it was damaged in a fender bender years ago. The window seals are old

See my speedocable is currently out of the car so that could be the problem as well

Yeah I am going to do that in the morning, are their any shops in oc or so cal that can help me if I can't figure it out on my own?

The engine is a 225, I just bought a replacement for the 225 so it should fix it. Crossing my fingers

i believe I have a exhaust leak in my 73 duster, I took to multiple places to figure it out and everyone says they can't find anything or they say it's a old car, you will smell exhaust. I understand that but when I start driving the exhaust starts giving me a headache and my eyes burn, so I am...

I need a speedometer cable but apparently their are 2 cables one that goes to the trans and one thaT hooks up to the steering column, does anyone know where I can find both cables. I have a automatic transmission 73 duster

Dang that is a nice car! But yeah that is my intention, to eventually get a meetup together and see how it goes from their! I actually live in chino as well, we just moved there!

Alright thanks! I will defiantly make note of that when finishing up the car!

Alright thanks for the info! Appreciate it!

Haha thats harsh! lol

Alright so i am going to put a 340 or a 360 engine in my duster, what i am wondering is do i need to put a bigger rear end in? It has a 7 1/4 rear end in it i believe but i was told i could just put better gears in it and i would be alright. Is that true or will i just be better off putting in a...

I wanted to make a forum like the nor-cal group, but for SO-CAL. I havent seen any for SO-CAL so if there is let me know and ill delete this! I think it would be good to be able to help each other out from SO-CAL on connections or just knowledge on cars. So if anyone from SO-CAL wants to ask...

Yea i am going to buy it new, so then it should be easy! Thanks for the help.
